Supreme Court of Georgia

Jordan v. the State.

January 22, 2019305 Ga. 12

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Jordan's convictions, holding that the trial court did not err in denying a mistrial despite the prosecutor’s comment accusing defense counsel of deceit, and that Jordan was not denied effective assistance of counsel because his attorney was present during the critical stage. The court emphasized deference to trial‑court discretion and the clear‑error standard for factual findings.
